AUTOMATED RISK MANAGEMENT LOSS REPORTS INSTRUCTIONS The system of reporting losses of District property resulting from theft, vandalism, accidents, weather, etc., is now automated through the District s mainframe computer system (the LOSS system). This document discusses, step-by-step, how to create, review and approve loss reports online. An important feature of the system is the interface of the LOSS system with the CRMS (FAST) database. Now you can link any CRMS item to your LOSS report, and all pertinent information of that item will be automatically available on the LOSS report. Please remember that all losses should be reported to the North East ISD Police immediately @ 655-6859. If you have any questions regarding the LOSS system, please contact Mario Ward, Assistant Director of Risk Management, @ 407-0187, or mward1@neisd.net.

You must type in the address of the incident, time, names and titles of the people involved, and the police officer name and assigned case #. Important: In many instances (burglary, vandalism, etc), the Risk Management Department cannot process the claim unless the police case # is included! To determine whose name to include where, ask yourself these questions: Discovered By: Who found it? ; Reported By: Who brought it to an administrator s attention? Reported To: Which administrator was notified? Entered By will default to the user who is currently logged in and filling out the report. 6
